Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee rail about public safety and immigration—while their president pardons violent insurrectionists and kills bipartisan border legislation.
Democrats are working for public safety and immigration reform. Is the GOP?

15 years after Citizens United, which transformed every corporate treasury in America into a potential political slush fund, we now see the result: government of billionaires, by oligarchs, for plutocrats.
President Trump's first executive orders free violent insurrectionists who followed his orders, seek to destroy birthright citizenship, attack the professional civil service and spread chaos.
At once humbled and uplifted to be the keynote speaker at the Alpha Phi Alpha MLK Scholarship Breakfast. An amazing morning with Senators @chrisvanhollen.bsky.social and Alsobrooks and hundreds of MoCo activists. May Dr. King’s passion for democracy, human rights and solidarity inspire us.
As we prepare for MLK Day, it’s my pleasure to recognize MD-08’s Dr. Daryl Davis as our Local Hero. This blues piano sensation, accomplished author and determined opponent of—and, amazingly, friend to—Klansmen and white supremacists, has been transforming America, often one racist at a time.
My district team joined the MoCo Council to celebrate Muslim American Heritage Month. In MoCo, diversity is our strength, unity is our power, and community is our destiny.
We send solidarity to all the victims and survivors of this brutal war as we chart a path forward. It is imperative that all parties stay committed until the entire agreement is implemented and diplomacy replaces war.
A ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas is a major breakthrough in the campaign to free the beleaguered hostages, relieve terrible suffering in Gaza and pave the way for peace.
America can either be guided by the rule of law or the zig-zag confusion of disinformation and propaganda.
Democrats will follow the rule of law every time.
In the face of MAGA chaos and dysfunction, Democrats will work to advance the common good and justice for all.
These great Members have come from all over America to fight for the people. We’re getting to work in the 119th.
Our district team joined the MoCo Council to recognize Korean American Day and celebrate the enduring contributions of Korean Americans to our community.
We mourn the loss of MoCo Master Firefighter Christopher Higgins. He lost his life serving our people, his service to our community extending over two decades. May his memory be a blessing to his devoted family & friends & all his fellow first responders who keep watch over us.
The grift continues as online betting market Kalshi hires Donald Trump Jr.!
The legislation I introduced months ago with Senator Merkley and @salinas.house.gov would protect the integrity of our democracy by banning election betting altogether.
As new Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, I'll lead Judiciary Democrats in defending American freedom, democratic institutions and the rule of law.
It’ll be tough work, but we're ready for the fight, and I encourage you to follow along at @democrats-judiciary.house.gov.
For his decades of remarkable public service to MD-08 and the nation, we honor Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger as this week's Local Hero. Before going to the Hill, Chief Manger led the Montgomery County police. We salute his commitment to his officers and our community.
Sending gratitude to the honorable officers of the Capitol Police, Montgomery Police and Sheriff’s Office, Takoma Park Police and all law enforcement personnel who keep our communities safe.
Happy National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day!
Great news: $1 million in new federal funding for mental health and substance use treatment is on the way to Maryland!
This funding is from the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which I proudly championed and voted for.
Our hearts and minds are with fellow Americans facing raging wildfires in Southern California, fleeing destruction of their communities and homes.
We are grateful to the first responders leading fire fighting, evacuation and public safety efforts.
Congress certified the results of the 2024 presidential election with no disruptions because Democrats acted as constitutional patriots.
We didn't mobilize insurrectionary mob violence, deny the election results or threaten to kill the vice president.
On Monday, Congress met to certify the presidential election.
Democrats didn't try to overthrow the election because we're constitutional patriots. And we'll always stand strong for the Constitution against lawlessness and corruption.
